That can be anything from changing the appearance to messing with the source code

avoid viruses
show off compiz
saves my windows system files during crashes
allows me an OS all the time (live cd)
Im a nerd
The problems it does have are fixable
People are intrigued by it
It doesn't overheat and fry my motherboard when running word pad
It gets me ladies... one day hopefully
Because I can and it's free.

At the start, I choose Ubuntu because all my anti-ware on Windows needed more money to keep updating and protecting me from all the Bad Things out there on the internet. I was tired of all my programs, and the operating system itself, wanting to phone home with updates of god-only-knows-what, and I wanted to have more control over my machine.

It was not an easy transition and I frequently wished I could go back to the familiar Windows. There was a rather steep learning curve and a huge shift in how to approach the whole desktop experience. It was only the sheer hatred and paranoia of feeling completely out of control of what my system was doing and who it was communicating with that drove me to learn something new.

Now that I've been using Ubuntu almost exclusively (at home) for about a year, getting used to the CLI and how to make it work for me and figuring out where things go and how they interact, I find Windows very constricting. I'm frequently frustrated at work when I have to fix something on my Windows machine and I start thinking how much easier it would be if the system had more transparency and if I had a support network like Linux offers. I like that Ubuntu is secure and stable right out of the box and I love that it's almost infinitely customizable. Most of all, I love that it it's free and I don't have to pay a dime to upgrade or get help or keep the system safe from malware.

Oh.... and not that it's important or anything... but I absolutely LOVE the way I've been able to customize the look of my desktop. Nothing that Windows or OS X offers matches what I consider to be the almost perfection I've managed with all the options available on Linux. (YMMV)

一开始，我选择ubuntu，因为我所有的Windows 反病毒软件需要更多的钱来不断升级，用来保护我在互联网上的所有不好的事情。我厌倦了所有的程序包括操作系统本身，还有电话支持说的上帝才知道是什么东西的升级，我希望有更多的控制能力在我的机器上。

这不是一个很容易的过渡，我常常想回到最熟悉的windows。有一个相当陡峭的学习曲线和巨大的变化以达到整个桌面体验。这只是纯粹的仇恨与偏执的感觉，完全失去控制的是什么，和我沟通的人驱使我学习新的事物。

现在，我已经几乎完全用ubuntu（在家）大约一年时间，逐渐习惯 CLI 以及如何使它工作，怎么运行，以及相互的影响，我觉得Windows相当制约我。我经常感到沮丧，当我必须去解决一些 Windows机器中大问题，我开始思考它应该是多么容易如果系统有更多的透明度，并且如果我也有一个网络支持就象linux 提供的那样，我喜欢 ubuntu 的安全和稳定即便是初装，它几乎是无限可定制的。最重要的是，我爱喜欢她的免费，我并不要付出一毛钱升级，获得帮助或确保系统对于恶意软件的安全性

哦....这还不是重要的全部... 但是我绝对喜欢我定制的桌面样子。任何Windows或OS X 不能达到的我认为是几乎完美的。。。

Everytime I'm about to give up on Ubuntu, I come back to this thread and it keeps me going.

I hope I'm not the only one benefiting from this.

I was tired of having to reboot daily to keep my computer quick.
I was tired of the boring interface.
I was tired of trying to find a program to do X, Y, or Z.
Honestly the list goes on and on.

There has not been a problem which I could not fix in Ubuntu or get help fixing. Let's look at some of the things that Ubuntu can do that Windows cannot:
Stay free from viruses and spyware with minimal effort.
Stay at the same speed whether the install is days or years old.
Stay on for months at a time without slowing down.
Tweak the interface to look however I would like.
Updates and upgrades are forever free.
Package management is Ubuntu is vastly superior. Whenever I need a program, Google does not need to be your first stop, Synaptic is.
Rather than tracking down updates to every program you ever have installed, 90% of them are taken care of by Ubuntu and if you can find repositories for your other programs, even more can be.

To me these things are enough. Not to say things have not gone wrong in Ubuntu, but I have worked these things out, with the help of this community and Google. I am pretty handy with computers so perhaps this is why I like Ubuntu more, but it is not for everyone. Good luck and I hope you to give Ubuntu and Linux another try sometime.

You hit the nail squarely on the head as far as I'm concerned.

I switched to Ubuntu about 4 years ago when my XP ware died on my laptop. Unable to find Boot Loader. A friend helped me recover my data and installed Ubuntu at my request. I was sick of virus issues and wanted to get away from having to constantly pay for upgrades and other software.

My only knowledge of other flavors of Linux is second hand but seems to indicate that Ubuntu is probably the best flavor available - at least for me. I don't have time to experiment. I have a farm to operate and can only work on the computer after all the animals are taken care of.

I do remember the stress I used to feel with Windows and that is part of the reason I bought a farm - to reduce stress. That is also why I use Ubuntu - it reduces stress.
________________

直指我所关心的 ..
我换成ubuntu 大约4年前，当我笔记本的xp死掉了，找不到起动器，一个朋友帮我恢复数据并且在我要求下装了 ubuntu .我头痛病毒问题，不想不断的升级和或者给其他的软件付费。

我所有关于其他linux 的知识都是二手的（听别人说的），但似乎 ubuntu 是最好的，至少对我是，我没有太多时间去试验，我有个农场要运营，只有当所有的动物都被照顾好了我才能在电脑上工作.

我确实记得以前用windows 时候的压力，部分原因是我买了个农场- 为了减少压力. 这也是我为什么用 ubuntu的原因，-减少压力

( 狂汗! windows vs farm )

better processing power quite nice neat things that you can do what to learn more than one OS its also nice I don't really need an antivirus...

Ubuntu can easily be made so that the entire family can use it easily.
ubuntu 可以很容易(配置),所以能让全家都用的很轻松

Ubuntu has done what Napoleon could not do - bring people together - （ ）
I'm not completely done with Windows (shame on me ) - but the more i get to use Ubuntu - the more i get through the pains of adapting - the more i luv it -


ubuntu 做到了拿破仑不能做的事情 -把人们聚到一起 -
我没有完全脱离 windows ( 惭愧 ) - 但是使用 ubuntu 越多，越脱离痛苦- 越爱她

My main reson is that the system makes more sense. Ports closed untill opened...etc. The file sysem makes more sense... c'mon, it's just better (than what I am not going to name names\

For me, it's more quick and efficient and, similar to baxterdog's response, it makes a lot of sense. It also just works.
But also because it's just more darn fun to use. It makes for a great user experience.

So Please. Tell me why you choose Ubuntu. And you can't say compiz or beryl.

I don't want to call you a troll but are you serious? Try the whole phlosophy of open source including Ubuntu. Windows- pay for it; have to upgrade your hardware with each upgrade; how many licenses do you want for that server - pay for each user; device drivers - have always had more problems with windows; oops you need to pay for every piece of software unless you want some spyware/malware; reregister your copy of Vista - call them each time because you updated your hardware; visit a webpage and bring home nasties of all kind; workig with sharing printers and files is actually easier with linux; ubuntu is much more functional then windows out of the box... open office installed; every piece of software is updated automatically; less down time; faster boots; run servers on machines that won't run xp. Never defrag your drive - how much time do you spend with that?

我不想称你为 troll( 注 )，不过你当真？ 看看整个开源哲学包括 ubuntu . windows -需要付费获得，每次升级不得不连硬件一起升级，服务器你要多少个授权？每个你都要付费； 设备驱动- windows 总是有更多的问题，oops , 你要给软件每一部分付费，除非你想要 spyware/malware . 注册你的 vista - 因为硬件升级你每次要给他们打电话 ; 上个网还要带回家一大堆各种各样下流东西 ， 使用共享的打印机，文件 在linux下也更容易，初装的 ubuntu 要比windows 更加实用, 预装 OpenOffice ，所有的软件都自动升级，节省时间，而且启动更快(i doubt ), 可以在不能运行xp的server上运行. 不需要碎片整理 - 这些你花了多少时间 ?

don't forget if your change your OEM motherboard that came with your computer you need to buy a new copy / license of / for windows.

别忘了，如果你要换你机器带的 OEM 主板， 你要买一个新的 windows 许可证

've used MS software since the big bad DOS days. I didn't know there was anything else out there. It was simple - you had a computer, then you likely had Windows 3.1 as well.

And then Windows 95.

and so on.

我从big bad DOS 时代就用MS的软件 , 我不知道还有什么别的选择. 很简单，你有一台机器，你就得有 windows 3.1. 然后是 win95

如此等等.

But since the explosion of the internet, and Windows XP being released everyone seems to be getting more savvy.

I'm not going to whine about Windows - I'll admit that I've had my difficulties with Linux and still do to this day. I frist tried SuSe 9.3 and had a hhard time with it. I ran it on my PC for 6 months and was grateful when I uninstalled it and returned to my familiar Windows XP environment.

Windows ran all the programs for me, and the thing that has it remaining on my system is 2 reasons:
- Microsoft Office
- Games

Everything else in Linux I love. As some have mentioned the package management is an absolute joy. Need a program? No problem - go search for it in the Add/Remove programs tool. Know the name? Bang it in the command line. You can have a program installed in 10 seconds! It takes almost 30 seconds for Windows to start the MSI engine.

I know you've said no compiz mentions - but lets face facts. If you like it - it is a beautiful window manager. It is versatile yet functional. It stands up well to Apple's X and makes Vista's DWM look like a school project.

On top of this - I can run XP in a virtual machine thanks to VirtualBox - which meets my Office fix. I hate to say it, but Office 2007 really shines for me. The new UI is radical and well thought out (except for the lack of customisation).

File access is incrediably swift in Ubuntu - have you tried unzipping in XP? The native zip application is a joke. It took over 30 minutes to unzip a 1.5MB zip file full of 16x16 png images. Linux - about 5 seconds. Whatever happened at Redmond when they were working on the new kernel, file access speeds were clearly not at the top of the list.

I dual boot into Vista to play games. It's also there as a convenience. I need to know Vista's workings as I work with Windows PCs. If I don't have an encyclopaedic knowledge of Windows 98 -> Vista, then I can't do my job well. That's a fact of life. The clients I work with can't switch to Linux. They are primary schools that don't have the resources to manage a Linux network and deal with the problems of file types, educational software written only for Windows (sometimes Macs), and the learning curve involved in using new applications. Note applications - not operating systems.

The thing I really like about Ubuntu - it goes out of its way to keep out of your way. When you need something, you scratch the surface and it is revealed to you. In Windows, and predominantly Vista, it insists itself upon you. It has to get in your face and tell you what it's doing all the time:

Playing a game? Screw that! I'm going to defrag your drive and do a spyware scan while you're online!

Installing an update? I'm going to irritate you until you're so fed up that you reboot out of anger rather than being a convenient time.

I'm no Microsoft fanboy - and I'm not biased about Linux either. I think they both have their pros and cons. It was using Vista that finally made me try Ubuntu and Linux generally again. I'm glad I did. I feel I can do so much more, in an indescribable way. It's already been mentioned how you have to scour freeware and shareware sites trying to find a tool to do a specific job. Coming to the close of 2007 - you'll be hard pressed to find there isn't a Linux app already sitting in a repository that wouldn't do the same thing cheaper, with more versatility, and 9 times out of 10 better.

So that's it really - there's other stuff - but I don't have time. Humorously, I booted into Vista yesterday. It told me I hadn't ran it in 32 days!

I choose Ubuntu because I had a good initial experience (Edgy Eft), and decided to crack on.

I choose Ubuntu because it runs super-fast on a computer that's 3 and a half years old.

I choose Ubuntu because it is more customisable and versatile than both Windows and Macs (Macs are a closed bonnet of their own kind - but I wont start that rant).

and mostly...

I choose Ubuntu because it doesn't frustrate me as much as other operating systems have.
